today is world ADS day

Check out my posts at: http://www.focusonlivingwellwithhivaids.blogspot.com We are all responsible to educate ourselves and othes about HIV and AIDS every day, not just on World AIDS Day. Knowledge is the best way to end the stigma faced by everyone who is infected with or affected by HIV

it passed...but i did know....!

According to UNAIDS estimates, there are now 39.5 million people living with HIV, including 2.3 million children, and during 2006 some 4.3 million people became newly infected with the virus. Around half of all people who become infected with HIV do so before they are 25 and are killed by AIDS before they are 35. Around 95% of people with HIV/AIDS live in developing nations. But HIV today is a threat to men, women and children on all continents around the world. Started in 1988, World AIDS Day is not just about raising money, but also about increasing awareness, fighting prejudice and improving education. World AIDS Day is important in reminding people that HIV has not gone away, and that there are many things still to be done.
